The ‘Made in India’ Baleno has gained popularity worldwide for its liquid flow design, sophisticated styling, plush and roomy interiors, superior ride and handling and advanced safety features. Baleno achieved the 100,000 unit sales milestone in less than a year setting a record for being the top selling premium hatchback in India.
Thanking customers on the occasion, Mr R S Kalsi, Executive Director, Marketing & Sales, Maruti Suzuki said “ Baleno was developed keeping in mind the tastes and requirement of global customers. It has disrupted the premium hatchback segment by not only dominating it but also expanding it multi-fold. While setting new benchmarks in design and technology, Baleno has received an unimaginable response in India as well as several international markets. We are very humbled with the success of Baleno. We thank all our customers for their support and patience despite huge waiting for delivery on Baleno."

Baleno has been a breakthrough model for NEXA consistently topping the charts of the 10 best-selling passenger cars. With many firsts in the segment like Apple Car Play for the young buyers, standard safety features like dual airbags and ABS with EBD, the car has proved to be a true hallmark of the ‘Make in India’ initiative. In March this year, Maruti Suzuki also launched the Baleno RS, the sporty version of the Baleno, marking its entry in the high-performance segment. With a 1.0-litre Boosterjet engine, the Baleno RS is for the performance enthusiasts who seek more power, throttle response and excitement in their day-to-day driving.
Baleno is being exported to over 100 countries and is the first car from Maruti Suzuki being exported to Japan under Government’s “Make in India" mission. The car has been a performer even on the export front. Over 64,000 units of Baleno have been exported across the world including Japan, Australia, New Zealand and several parts of Europe and Latin America.
